ATTORNEY GENERAL JB VAN HOLLEN ADORE SINGH -- ENDORSING THE MAN WHO WILL SUCCEED HIM. HE IS THE ONLY REPUBLICAN AND A FEATURE RACE WITH HIM AND THREE DEMOCRATS. WE TALK WITH DISTRICT ATTORNEY RAT SCHIMMEL. -- BRAD SCHIMMEL. YOU HAVE TWO DEMOCRATS AND YOURSELF. WHY ARE YOU A BETTER CHOICE? THEM A PUBLIC SAFETY IS A VITAL AND IMPORTANT THING TO THE PEOPLE AND STATE OF WISCONSIN. OUR FAMILIES CHE -- OUR FAMILIES FACE CHALLENGES THEY DID NOT FACE EVEN 10 YEARS AGO. THIS IS NO TIME FOR THE ATTORNEY GENERAL TO LEARN AS THEY GO. WE NEED AN EXPERIENCED PERSON AT THE HANDLE OF THE WHEELS. I HAVE 20 YEARS EXPERIENCE AS A FRONT-LINE PROSECUTOR. IF YOU TAKE THE EXPERIENCE OF ALL OF MY OPPONENTS TOGETHER, THEY ARE LESS THAN 20 YEARS. 72 ELECTED SHERIFFS AROUND THE STATE AND THE SITTING ATTORNEY GENERAL HAVE ALL ENDORSED MY CAMPAIGN ALREADY. YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT NEW CHALLENGES. IT IS A SENSE OF YOUR PRIORITIES CREATE I HAVE -- GIVE US A SENSE OF YOUR PRIORITIES. I HAVE HEARD YOU TALK ABOUT THE HEROIN EPIDEMIC IN THE STATE. HEROIN AND OTHER OPIATES ARE KILLING YOUNG PEOPLE WITH PROMISING FUTURES IN ALL OF OUR COMMUNITIES. THIS IS DRIVING ALL SORTS OF OTHER CRIME. BURGLARY, ROBBERY, HUMAN TRAFFICKING, PROSTITUTION. WE'RE SEEING ALL THAT GO UP BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. I AM PROUD TO SAY IN WAUKESHA COUNTY WE HAVE BEEN IN FRONT OF IT FOR YEARS NOW. WE HAVE HAD THE NUMBER TWO SOURCE OF HEROIN SUBMISSIONS IN THE STATE CRIME LAB. THAT IS ACTUALLY GREAT NEWS. WE ARE GETTING THEM CHARGED AND THAT IS WHY THE HEROIN IS GOING TO THE CRIME LAB FOR ANALYSIS. I WANT TO ASK YOU SOMETHING ABOUT YOUR WEBSITE. USE A SERVANT PROTECT WILL BE YOUR PRIORITY. YOU SAY IN ADDITION OUR STATE CANNOT RETURN TO AN ERA WHERE OFFICES HAVE FRIVOLOUS LAWSUITS TO SCORE -- WE FILE LAWSUITS AGAINST CRANBERRY FARMERS AND ENERGY PRODUCERS IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK. BOTH LAWSUITS WERE DISMISSED BY THE COURTS AND SO -- AS FRIVOLOUS. WE NEED TO TAKE THE POLITICS OUT OF THIS. HE WILL BRING AN ENORMOUS AMOUNT POLITICS TO THIS. I AM GOING TO FOCUS ON CUB SAFETY. THE POLITICAL IDEOLOGY WAS ABLE TO SUPPORT THIS. IT WAS ABOUT POLITICAL IDEOLOGY. JOHN DOE INVESTIGATIONS ARE A GREAT TOOL BECAUSE OF THE SECRECY. A WE CAN'T DO THE THINGS WE CAN DO WITH REGULAR LAW ENFORCEMENT INVESTIGATION. THAT SECRECY CREATES GREAT DANGERS. I DON'T KNOW THE DETAILS OF WHAT HAPPENS IN MILWAUKEE COUNTY AND NOR SHOULD I KNOW THOSE DETAILS. I KNOW THERE IS A CRISIS IN CONFIDENCE THAT THE PUBLIC IS CONCERNED ABOUT WHAT THEY ARE HEARING AND THEY ARE STARTING TO HAVE DOUBTS. JUST HELP SUPPORT THAT PUBLIC CONFIDENCE THAT THEY CAN FEEL LIKE THIS PROCESS IS NOT POLITICAL. I WAS JUST CONVINCED THAT IS A GOOD MOVE. WHY IS THAT? WE TALK ABOUT 49 STATES THAT HAVE IT AS A CRIME. IF STATES DO NOT ALL DO THE SAME THING. MANY OF THEM LIBERALLY PRODUCE THE OFFENSE RIGHT OUT OF THE GATES OR LATER ON AFTER COMPLETING A BRIEF PERIOD OF SUPERVISION. IN WISCONSIN -- WE CANNOT AMEND THOSE WITHOUT GETTING PERMISSION FROM THE COURT WITHOUT FILING A WRITTEN APPLICATION. WISCONSIN LAWS ARE NOT AS LAKHS AS PEOPLE BELIEVE. OVER 60% OF FIRST OFFENDERS DO NOT COME BACK AND DO IT AGAIN. IT IS A VERY GOOD SUCCESS RATE WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT DRUG ABUSE ISSUES. WHAT I SUGGESTED IS WE NEED TO TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT THE OTHER STATES HAVE DONE. WHEN THEY MADE THEIR LAWS KERNEL AND PUBLIC SAFETY IMPROVED, WE SHOULD THINK ABOUT DOING IT HERE. IF PUBLIC SAFETY DID NOT APPROVE THAT DO NOT IMPROVE, LET'S FOCUS ON OTHER THINGS. YOU HAD A DRUNK DRIVING ARREST BACK IN YOUR MID-20'S. DO YOU THINK THAT WILL HURT YOU IN ANYWAY WAY AS THE CAMPAIGN UNFOLDS? I DON'T KNOW ABOUT REVEALING IT SOONER. RIGHT NOW IT IS TOUGH TO GET PEOPLE TO BE INTERESTED IN THIS RACE IN THE FIRST PLACE. IT IS A LONG WAY FROM NOVEMBER IN MOST PEOPLE'S MINDS. IN TERMS OF REPEALING IT SOONER, NO. -- REVEALING IT SOONER. NO. I'VE NEVER KEPT HIS SECRET -- NEVER KEPT IT A SECRET. I HAVE SPENT MY CAREER FOCUSING ON MAKING THE PEOPLE OF WISCONSIN SAFER, PARTICULARLY IN WAUKESHA COUNTY. I HAVE DONE THINGS WITH MY EXPERIENCE. I WAS PART OF THE TEAMS THAT WORKED WITH MOTHERS AGAINST DRUNK DRIVING TO BRING THE FIRST VICTIM IMPACT PANEL TO THE STATE OF WISCONSIN. I AM EQUIVOCAL PART OF THE ALCOHOL TREATMENT CORE IN MILWAUKEE. BRAD SCHIMMEL, THE WAUKESHA COUNTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. HE HAS BEEN LARGELY OUT OF SIGHT
